Dai Mubai carried Tang San back to the audience seats at the edge of the arena. Looking at the two unconscious people, he felt a tremendous headache.

He had not expected that one soul fight would leave two people seriously injured.

"Zhuqing, carry Xiao Wu. I'll carry Tang San, and we'll get out of here. We need to find the dean and have a Healing Soul Master treat them," Dai Mubai said.

Zhu Zhuqing expressionlessly picked up Xiao Wu. Too lazy to speak to Dai Mubai, she turned and left.

At that display, Dai Mubai suddenly clenched his fists, anger rising in his heart. But when he saw the injured Tang San, he ultimately held it in.

Dai Mubai and the others brought the injured Tang San and Xiao Wu to find Flender, who had been waiting outside.

With his miserly nature, he naturally had not bought a ticket to watch the matches. Listening to the lively sounds inside, he imagined that Tang San and the others had already won.

He also imagined earning a hundred Gold Coins with every victory.

Flender had already begun calculating what excuse he could use to get his hands on the money they earned.

But just then, Dai Mubai and the others found him.

"Teacher, come quickly! Something happened!" Ma Hongjun shouted anxiously.

Flender snapped out of his reverie and looked over at the sound. His face instantly changed drastically.

Tang San and Xiao Wu, whom he had imagined already beginning a winning streak, were actually unconscious, held in Dai Mubai's and Zhu Zhuqing's arms respectively.

"What happened? What happened to them?" Flender flashed in front of them and hurriedly asked.

Tang San was the son of the Clear Sky Douluo. If anything happened to him at their academy, the trouble would be enormous.

"Teacher, they were injured by that arena champion when they went to challenge the hill," Ma Hongjun explained.

Upon hearing that, Flender felt his vision go dark.

"It's over!" He had been the one who told Tang San to challenge the hill. Now that he was injured, what would happen if Tang Hao came looking for him?

"Follow me. Hurry and take the two of them to find a Healing System Spirit Master."

Flender shouted anxiously. He had to make amends in time.

The group hurried after Flender, running out of the Soto Soul Arena in search of a Healing Soul Master.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yi had easily defeated two opponents during this time in the Soul Fighting Arena.

Jiang Yi did not strike too heavily against people who bore him no grudge. He defeated them cleanly and decisively.

In truth, Jiang Yi had not used his full strength against Tang San and Xiao Wu either. Their injuries looked exaggerated, but they were only superficial wounds.

With the help of a Healing Soul Master, they would recover quickly.

Otherwise, with Tang San only a Soul Grandmaster, Jiang Yi could have killed him in one move with his current Spiritual Power and Physical Strength.

But with Tang Hao around, he naturally could not do that. Besides, he could not let Tang San die so easily. That would be letting him off too lightly.

Of course, Jiang Yi had not done nothing. When Tang San had nearly been knocked unconscious by him—

He used Spiritual Power to give Tang San a mental suggestion, planting a seed deep in Tang San's heart.

Every time he defeated Tang San in the future, that seed would gradually take root and sprout.

Since he had not caused any serious injuries, Jiang Yi was not worried that Tang Hao would come looking for trouble.

Tang San had also been injured many times in the original course of events. But because they had been soul fights or battles against opponents of the same rank—

Tang Hao, a Title Douluo, had not been shameless enough to seek trouble with those people.

"Ten consecutive wins! Player Jiang Yi has achieved ten consecutive wins! Let us congratulate Player Jiang Yi on this accomplishment!" The Host took the stage with a face full of excitement and announced it to everyone in the Soul Fighting Arena.

The audience responded enthusiastically with cheers. Tonight's matches had been thrilling, and everyone was thoroughly satisfied.

"Tonight's matches have come to an end. However, there will still be ten matches next week. We welcome all spectators to come support us again tomorrow."

At This Moment, Jiang Yi had already left the arena and arrived backstage at the Soto Soul Arena.

Soros had been waiting there for some time. When he saw Jiang Yi arrive, his face was full of excitement.

"This is your prize money for today. Thank you for coming tonight," Soros said sincerely.

Jiang Yi accepted the Gold Card and smiled faintly. "I'm merely fulfilling our agreement."

He did not linger long at the Soto Soul Arena. After leaving backstage, he headed straight out of the arena.

Just as he stepped out of the Soul Fighting Arena, a call came from behind him.

"Hey, Jiang Yi."

Jiang Yi turned around and discovered that Ning Rongrong was the one calling him. He was somewhat surprised.

At this point in time, Ning Rongrong should not have been here.

My actions this morning must have changed Ning Rongrong's original course of events. Jiang Yi quickly figured it out.

When she saw Jiang Yi stop, Ning Rongrong smiled and ran to his side.

With both hands behind her back, Ning Rongrong looked up at Jiang Yi and smiled. "I watched all your matches tonight. You were wonderful in every one."

Jiang Yi nodded expressionlessly. Seeing this, Ning Rongrong could only lower her head.

Then she said quietly, "What happened this morning was my fault. My attitude was terrible. I'm sorry."

As the Eldest Daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, this was Ning Rongrong's first time apologizing to someone—or rather, the first time she had sincerely apologized to someone.

Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's apology, a faint smile finally appeared on Jiang Yi's face.

"Thank you for coming to watch my matches," Jiang Yi said with a smile.

Ning Rongrong raised her head. Seeing the smile on Jiang Yi's face, she knew he had forgiven her.

"Then... are we friends now?" Ning Rongrong asked nervously.

This was the first time she had ever asked such a question. In the past, Others had always rushed to befriend her.

"Of course," Jiang Yi said.

After receiving his answer, Ning Rongrong revealed a brilliant smile.

Ning Rongrong, who had been in a bad mood because of Flender's reprimand, became delighted.

Just At This Moment, Ning Rongrong's stomach suddenly growled.

Jiang Yi immediately looked at her, and Ning Rongrong's face instantly reddened.

After running here from Shrek Academy, she had followed those people into the Soto Soul Arena.

So she had not eaten dinner Until Now.

"Let's have dinner together. I haven't eaten either," Jiang Yi said with a smile, helping her out.

Ning Rongrong hurriedly nodded. "All right."

The two headed together toward a nearby restaurant.

Meanwhile, in a medical clinic in Suotuo City, Flender, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and the Others waited outside.

Soon, the Healing Soul Master came out.

"How are their injuries?" Flender hurriedly asked. This concerned whether Tang Hao would come settle the score with him.

"They're fine now. They only suffered superficial wounds. After my treatment, they're almost completely healed. They'll make a full recovery after some time."

"However, that girl lost several teeth. It will take time for them to grow back, and she may speak with a lisp for a while," the Healing Soul Master said.

Flender immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then cautiously asked, "How much will it cost?"

"Four hundred Gold Soul Coins," the Healing Soul Master said with a smile.

Upon hearing that amount, Flender felt his heart seize up. Then, aching with reluctance, he took out Gold Coins and paid.
